Predator Z-3 Shaft

The Predator Z-3 high performance cue shaft is lean, mean and has the most flex of all Predator Shafts. Its smaller diameter paired with V-Tek construction allows for an extremely light front-end and pin-point tip placement. The all-new Predator Z-3 is also 4% lighter at the front-end than the previous generation shaft and is considerably stronger.

The Vault-Plate

Predator has re-engineered the front end construction invorporating the new patent pending vault plate. The vault plate completely re-configures the stress points between the tip, tip silencer, ferrule, and splices creating a construction that is much stronger from every axis with less mass and a higher level of kinetic energy transfer.

The V-Tek Ferrule

Predator Cues proprietary ferrule formula allows the creation of it’s own highly specific ferrule material. The Predator 3rd Generation V-Tek Ferrules are not only stronger, but also lighter, reducing mass and increasing accuracy by reducing cue ball deflection even more.

Predator Cues V-Tek Fiber Tip Silencing

Predator's proprietary blend creates a stronger and more tactile gluing surface, while creating an audibly pleasing sound upon contact with the ball.

Predator iMatch Pairing
iMatch is Predator Cues patented process in which every single cue shaft triangle is tested for density, mass, and stiffness for optimum pairing with other triangles resulting in better shaft consistency and playability.

10-Piece North American Hard Maple

Hand selected and kiln dried, only the highest grade North American Maple goes into every Predator Shaft.

The Vantage Shaft has a 12.9mm tip diameter along with the all-new ProV taper that provides unparalleled static stiffness, besting the 314-2 in static stiffness by 10 percent and the Z-2 by 30 percent. This increase in shaft stiffness creates a much stronger “spine” inside the Vantage shaft allowing for increased mass reduction at the front end thereby lowering deflection even more.

Victory Tip

Predator's Victory Tip consists of eight layers. Each tip is constructed to exacting standards and made to maintain optimum compression for the entire life of the tip. Its high contrast color allows for better sighting and shaping to help you play better.

The Predator 3rd Generation Cue Shafts are Greater than the sum of its parts

The Predator shafts delivers increased rotation and accuracy through it unique combination of strength, stiffness, and mass. This recipe for performance allows players to play more spin at a higher velocity, with not only less effort, but with more consistency than ever before.
